About Trap Parsers
Traps are fault messages that occur on an SNMP device. Trap parsers generate event information when a trap is
received. A received trap is passed through a level of Trap Parsers only if the trap has not been converted into an
event object by a Trap Filter, or if the received trap has not been dropped during trap filtering.
Note
For detailed information about configuring trap parsers, such as adding,
deleting, and modifying trap parsers, saving and loading trap parser files,
reordering the trap parser list, and enabling/disabling trap parsers, refer to
the
FS6300 NMS Administrator’s Reference Guide
.

About Event Parsers
Event parsers work similarly to trap parsers. Event parsers identify failure objects that correspond to network
events, and convert certain types of events, such as threshold events and status poll events, into a readable for-
mat before the events are filtered.
Note
For detailed information about configuring event parsers, such as adding,
deleting, and modifying event parsers, saving and loading event parser files,
reordering the event parser list, and enabling/disabling event parsers, refer to
the
FS6300 NMS Administrator’s Reference Guide
.

Event Parser Configuration Tool

About Event Filters
When events are generated from devices in a network, you can configure FS6300 NMS to send some notifica-
tions. Event filters are used to automatically start actions for selected events.
Note
For detailed information about configuring event filters, such as adding,
deleting, and modifying event filters, saving and loading event filter files,
reordering the event filter list, and enabling/disabling event filters, refer to
the
FS6300 NMS Administrator’s Reference Guide
